Inverhall Marquees

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of marquees are there?

We have two types of marquee, traditional (as shown on Styles of Marquee page) and frame/ clearspan marquees.

The traditional marquees have pegs and guy ropes on the outside, with feature poles on the inside. The frame, or clearspan has a metal frame with no guy ropes, so is suitable for ground where space is limited, or where ground is harder and requires fewer pegs. For photographs and more details, please see our Styles of Marquee & Sizes & Layouts sections.

We are happy to discuss any site and will help with any questions.

Q: What is included in the quote?

As a basis for weddings we include a lined and floored marquee lit with chandeliers, with an entrance door and window-walling where suitable. We have furniture in stock and will include this with your initial estimate (generally including any extra facilities that may be required, such as generators, service marquees, loos) to give you an idea of the overall cost at this stage.

Q: What type of tables do you have?

All our recommendations come from the basis of a 'good party'. We have a variety of tables, tending to be ten people at the most as we feel that this offers the best atmosphere, although we have some larger to fit twelve people if numbers change at the last minute to give you some flexibility. Our most popular tables are our 5' round and 6'' x 4'' oval tables as they are designed to be easy to talk across, so that meals are more social and fun.

Q: What should I look into before phoning?

If you are looking for more information on marquees we are happy to help with any advice. We will discuss the party, number of guests and the type of ground as this can determine the type of marquee. At this stage we can pass on a rough idea of the cost for a furnished marquee. We prefer, whenever possible to discuss over the telephone in the first instance as we have a number of questions about the site, access and general details. Our telephone number is 01505 329968.

Q: Why choose Inverhall Marquees?

We have been based in Scotland for over twenty years, and have a good knowledge of sites around Scotland, so are happy to help with any decisions or queries. We have a team of eight full-time staff (most of whom have been with us for the last twenty years) and are very proud of the work that they do. Being seasonal, we have regular summer staff who join us for the busiest months of the year. As a lot of our work involves repeat business, we make every effort for the same people to return to each site. From material bought in we manufacture our own linings and outer canvas, so we have a lot of flexibility in the sizes that we can offer.

Q: Public Events

All of our roofs, walls and lining have fire Retardancy Certificates complying with BS 7837 standard of Flame Resistancy and have done for the past 15 years.

Q: Do we manufacture tarpaulins for boats?

We can manufacture tarpaulins, but because our stock materials are above the specification that is generally required, the cover works out heavier and more expensive. If anyone has any recommendations for other companies, we will pass these on.

Q: Can we supply carpets, stages and awning?

We are happy to provide a quote for carpeting (within marquee or for corporate event in your building) or awning out-with the marquee for corporate events or for cover in bad weather. We provide stages for bands in our marquees where there are dances, or can provide larger stages for different events such as book festivals.
